Holidaymakers with upcoming trips have been told not to travel as Wayfairer Travel, a luxury holiday operator based in Bristol, has suspended all its services. The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust (ABTOT), which ensures travel companies meet certain financial and operational standards, has advised customers with trips scheduled to depart by 30 September 2026 not to proceed with their travel plans. This comes after Wayfairer Travel confirmed it is currently unable to provide the protected travel arrangements required by ABTOT. ABTOT has launched a claims process to assist affected customers, allowing them to seek compensation or alternative arrangements. The association is working closely with holidaymakers to ensure their rights are upheld and to help them navigate the next steps. This process is designed to support customers who have booked holidays through ABTOT-licensed operators, offering them a formal channel to address their concerns. Wayfairer Travel, which specialises in luxury holidays to destinations such as the Maldives, Japan, Peru, and Kenya, has confirmed that accounting and legal discussions are underway. The company, which was founded in 2012, has promised to provide a formal update to its customers this week. This update is expected to clarify the company’s current situation and outline any potential solutions for affected holidaymakers. The suspension of services has left many customers uncertain about their upcoming travel plans, with some facing potential financial and logistical challenges. As the situation develops, ABTOT and Wayfairer Travel are both expected to provide further information to help customers make informed decisions about their holidays.
